"An excellent entry level bike, I found the ride more forgiving that the Specalized Allez Comp (similar price point) and the Shimano 105 components easy to operate and reliable."runningrabbit

(5)

Ease of use

This bike is a great ride for someone just starting out with a road bike. I transitioned from 20+ years of riding only MTBs and am very pleased

(5)

Quality of Construction

Great components, frame has smooth lines and welds and feels solid on the road, even at high speeds

(5)

Fit

I am 6'4" and just about 200lbs, the 62cm fits very well, I do not feel cramped on the bike nor do I feel like I am reaching for the handlebars.

(4)

Comfort

Having only been on this bike for a few weeks I feel like it will be comfortable for longer rides as well.

(5)

Adjustability

With support from my local bike shop I was able to have this bike adjusted to fit me perfectly.

(5)

Durability

So far so good, everything on the bike seems to be of very good quality.

(5)

Value

Awesome frame with Shamano 105 components, a great set up at a very reasonable price.

(5)

Appearance

Not the most important category to me, but the bike does have nice graphics and options of color schemes to choose from.

(5)

Performance

This bike cruises comfortably on the flats and handles both going up and down hills well, on steep down hills bike feels solid, I have been on other bikes for demo rides that felt a bit 'out of control' on a rapid descent.

Strengths

Superior fit and reasonable handling for a *modest* price, great entry level bike.

Weakness

On very rough roads bike transfers a lot of vibration to the rider to absorb.
